People may feel frustrated at especially 30, but, in fact, everyone feels frustrated at any age. Everyone confronts their different challenges at different phases of ages.

劇情| 剧情 (Jùqíng) Plot
Each actress has their own features and principles of life. For example, Zhong Xiaoqin (鍾曉芹|钟晓芹) in the drama said “we are just 30 years old, not reaching the half of life. Why not try to do something big ?” When people just got divorced, the male party who is much younger try to get close to you. What would Zhong Xiaoqin respond to?
Wang Manni (王漫妮)said, compared to the fact that the rent is rising continuously, I am more afraid that I keep moving houses, not able to settle down in this city.
Shanghai is full of dreams and allures. You can stand in the train station or the lobby of the airport, seeing how many people move in or out. Many graduates want to work here and many part-time workers try to settle down here. The cup will spills out when the water is filled, and therefore have to explore deeply and stablize here. In doing so, we must gain weight and not be spelled out.
However, their lives are suddenly disrupted by external factors. Gu Jia begins to suspect her husband Xu Huanshan of having a young mistress, Wang Manni faces difficulties with career issues and the love relationship with the man who keeps lying to her, and Zhong Xiaoqin’s idea of a perfect marriage is destroyed.
Probably, everyone is given fair chances at 30. Some people grasp it well and get themselves ready to the success path; some people still do not get it, sliding to downfall. This relates to aspects of work, emotion, lives, and so on.
When we reach 40, we probably think that anything happening at 30 is just a tiny thing in life.

This drama vividly illustrates how the three women will deal with the challenges of turning to thirty. Honestly speaking, this would not be happy ending for everyone’s expectations.
What they taught us is that when confronting with difficulties, they never escape but to face them directly. With the sufficient courage to face difficulties, it makes you go further.
Tea trees are just like people. In the middle age, trees are needed to be tweaked or revised. People’s lives are like this, and it turns out to be better with slight adjustment.
